Hi Stephan,
<nitpick>hm, I guess the wording is somewhat misleading - ooo-build
in fact does download this very OOO300m9, extracted from this very
CVS repository. I want to avoid the impression that indirection via
mirroring makes it somehow less 'official'</nitpick>.
That said, of course one of ooo-build's purposes is to add patches
on top of the 'original' source code (which about every Linux
distribution on this earth does, with almost every piece of
software). In this case, for Debian, the set of patches applied is
more conservative than, let's say, for the go-oo version. In fact,
you can use ooo-build with just a very bare-bones set of patches,
that basically simply ensures buildability on your specific
platform.
Still, including patches, causing confusion (see OP).
